My guess is that our orders haven't been accepted yet. We are all probably 1100 at this point. I believe that December was when the orders were going to officially "drop". After that, you should be able to call your dealer (or there is an 800 number) in order to get an update.

Got this off another thread referring to a Corvette. I would think they are the same for the Camaro. Just thought it was an interesting reference. Anyone know for sure at what point in them the actual VIN number is assigned? My guess would be at the 3100 level.

When the Skys came out, they offered the ability to track your order right on that site. Hopefully we will get that ability also. And BTW, I already tried inputting my order number into the Sky system and no luck.

and some more explanation on the standard codes...

Order status codes:
1100 = Preliminary Order (Order passed GM edit tables but dealers has not received allocation to place order)
2000 = Accepted By GM (Dealer used allocation to place order into production)
2500 = Preferenced (Order pulled to the production system)
3000 = Accepted By Production Control (Order input into the production system)
3100 = Sequenced (Order sequenced for Production)
3300 = Scheduled For Production (Order is scheduled into the plant build cycle)
3400 = Broadcast (Order is sent to various build & supplier areas to bring order together)
3800 = Produced (Order is built and VIN# shows in the Dealer Order system now)
4150 = Invoiced (Order is invoiced to the dealer)
4200 = Shipped (Vehicle is shipped to the dealer or point of delivery)
5000 = Delivered To Dealer
6000 = Delivered To Customer

There are other codes but they are almost exclusively used internally by GM and have no real effect on the status of the order as pertaining to the customer.

I updated my order to include the ground effects on 11/12 and when I picked up the new order form I asked my dealer what the "Priority 1" meant because everyone seemed to have it. He said that Priority 1 means that it's a sold vehicle. He told me mine was definitely one of the first 5 that they ordered but I didn't see any other area on the order that confirmed that. Any ideas where to look?

My dealer has 12 Camaros guaranteed to be delivered between February and July of next year. Mine was the 2nd car which had a deposit put down on it. That put me down at priority #2. My guess would be that if you had several cars with priority #1 at your dealership then your dealership was guaranteed quite a bit more than 12 Camaros between February and July of next year.

Incorrect. The allotments are through 3rd quarter (end of September). The priority number is assigned by the dealer. In theory (and as GM has suggested), the dealers would assign priority numbers sequentially to each person that ordered like yours seems to be doing. So if the dealer had 55 allotted and you were the 3rd, you would have a number of 3. If you were 51st, you would have 51. However, this is up to the dealer and may not assign priority numbers and all of them could be given 1 which I believe equates to random in GM's system (but possible date ordered or something).

The manager at my dealarship did tell me that they assign the priority numbers to each customer as you say above. I am #2 because I was the 2nd person to put a deposit down on one. I guess I never considered that a dealership would want to assign #1 priority to all their orders. That would really tick me off if I was one of the first to order and #12 had the same priority as me!

It'll tick you off even more if you go and find out that the dealer has sequenced lot cars to priority #1 when the dealers can actually order. They can do that you know... You have to trust your dealer to do the right thing.

I wonder how soon before Feb. 16th that they will start pulling our orders from dealers. Is that what they mean by Janurary 2009 being the tentative "Consensus Period" ? Think they will just pull "xx" amount from dealers each week til they are all completed? It sure would be nice to know how they go about deciding which dealers get their orders pulled first if that's the case. Ordering from a small dealer that was only allocated 1 initially and my geographical location compared to where they are being built has me nervous about getting it before summer.

Just my opinion but your nervousness is probably well-founded. My guess from all I've read is you can basically take your dealer's allocation number and divide it into the 7 months they have "pre-scheduled". For example, my dealer with 63 I would guess would average 9 per month. Of course possible build constraints and logistics of shipping play a role also. You may be pleasantly surprised to find your car will be "earlier" than expected just because some big dealers around you are getting theirs and yours gets on the same truck to "save" shipping. It's really all a crap-shoot at this point with no "solid" word from GM on the build order.

Yeah I'm thinking I'll either get it kinda early or really late, lol. I don't wanna be the guy that's had one on order for a year and everyone else has theirs or has even bought one off the lot by then, haha

From a Corvette blog: "For those who don't know what Consensus is, it is the report that Chevy sends to their dealers showing their estimated shipments of vehicles they can order for the following month's production period.

So what does that mean? Basically it means that dealers know now how many [cars] they have been initially allocated by GM."

I highly doubt that will be the case.

Did I miss something? All the dealers had their allocation numbers months ago. Or does this mean that month's part of their total allocation?
